Well my wipers refused to work today at all. They used to sometimes make a buzzing sound and if I pulled on the wiper they would start working for the day. Now they make the noise but no worky at all. How big a deal is it to replace this motor? 92 pickup work truck

Time wise, this takes about an hour. I would recommend visiting the local library and printing off the how-tos from a Chilton's manual (that's what I did). Now the bad news, the part number for the motor is 15036007 and it lists at $240. Now I seem to recall getting one my local parts store for considerably less, but that was about 5 years ago. You may want check the GM parts direct site too.

It sounds like you have the wiper motor circuit board problem that is common in these trucks. If you search I'm sure that you can find a previous thread on this. Lot's cheaper and easier than replacing the motor. Check with a dealer to see if the recall covers your truck.

I took the board out which looked ok but I hit all the solder joints with a soldering iron. Put it back in and same thing. New board was bout 28 bucks and a whole rebuilt unit motor and all was 58 out the door so I replaced the whole thing. Worst part of the job was getting all the rusted screws out of that plastic grate to unbolt the motor from the arms. All in all it wasn't too bad a job.

i to had that problem in my 91. 30$ pulse board from auto-zone cured it right up. go figure it craped out on me the da we started to move, half way to the new house with the second load it started to rain :crackup: . lucky we were only moving 10 mins away.

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
